Fuel distributor received a tax demand for urgent payment of a debt of almost 150k UAH.
The company filed a lawsuit with the Kyiv District Administrative Court and requested to cancel the “unlawful” tax assessment notice (TAN). However, the Main Department of the State Tax Service in Kyiv included the penalties from the TAN in the tax debt of 150k UAH and demanded its payment according to the tax demand. At this stage, the company filed a complaint to the Business Ombudsman Council.
The legislation stipulates that in case of appealing a tax assessment notice in court, the monetary obligations are considered unagreed until the court decision comes into legal force. After examining all the complainant’s materials, the Council confirmed that the case proceedings were supported by the corresponding court ruling on opening the judicial proceedings.
The Council submitted the complaint for consideration to the Expert Group of the Main Department of the State Tax Service in Kyiv. A positive decision followed immediately! With the BOC’s assistance, the tax authorities updated the data in the taxpayer’s integrated card and withdrew the tax demand for debt payment.
